"The Government of Kenya did not discuss any funding proposals for the extension of the SGR at the meeting. The SGR project is a regional project and the complexities in negotiating its completion involve several countries and securing financing for its completion could take several years of intricate negotiations," he added. Earlier on Saturday, Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma lashed out at the media over their reporting on the SGR loan deal by China. Juma made it clear that the relationship between Kenya and China is broader than the SGR. "In fact, the SGR extension beyond Naivasha was never a priority agenda for the current mission to Beijing," she tweeted.
